This can impact their lives and relationships in so many ways and too often results in stigma, discrimination and the denial of their fundamental rights. Responses to child sexual exploitation are complex and often need to be highly individualised which results in barriers to recovery and challenges the availability of suitable support services, particularly in resource poor countries. As ECPAT International aims to put the voices of children at the heart of all we do, we therefore wanted to gather insights and recommendations from child survivors, professionals and experts who have experience of care, recovery and reintegration services. This child centred study (carried out in 2014 – 2016 in Nepal, Thailand and the Philippines) is part of a tripartite research project examining access to judicial remedies, access to compensation and access to recovery and reintegration. The purpose of the recovery and reintegration component was to better understand the needs of survivors in order to guide more effective recovery and reintegration services and programmes that can appropriately support these children. This particular report provides a unique insight into the experiences and thoughts of child survivors. It uncovers the myriad of short and long term effects of the abuse they have suffered and how it can manifest into feelings of fear, shame, betrayal and a lack of trust in the adults who have failed to protect them. As these children and youth so clearly articulate throughout this report, the first step to recovery is to be shown security, love, kindness, nurturance and support. As such, the experiences they have with professionals and carers are fundamental in contributing to lessening the negative impact of their abuse and overcoming any trauma. Through this study and its very comprehensive report, we have given both survivors and care-givers a voice to tell us about the impact of child sexual exploitation and what will help these children get back their dignity, sense of belonging and allow them the chance to rebuild their lives. Dr. Katherine Hargitt met and talked with these survivors with great understanding and compassion. Through her exceptional interview skills and professionalism, she was able to create a protective environment whereby all respondents felt empowered and safe from judgement or blame.

  • Games and Sports : a Gateway of Women's Empowerment in India
    Games And Sports : A Gateway Of Women’s Empowerment In India Dr. Krishnendu Pradhan ABSTRACT “Sport has huge potential to empower women and girls” - Remarks by Lakshmi Puri; UN Assistant Secretary-General and UN Women Deputy Executive Director. The purpose of this paper attempts to shed light the status of women’s empowerment in India through games and sports and highlights the issues and challenges of women empowerment in the field of physical education and sports. Sport is an integral part of the culture of almost every nation. However, its use to promote gender equity and empower girls and women is often overlooked because sport is not universally perceived as a suitable or desirable pursuit for girls and women. Today the empowerment of women in games and sports has become one of the most important concerns of 21st century. But practically women empowerment in games and sports is still an illusion of reality. It is observe in our day to day life how women become victimized by various social evils. Women empowerment is the vital instrument to expand women’s ability to have resources and to make strategic life choices. Empowerment of women in games and sports is essentially the process of upliftment of economic, social and political status of women, the traditionally underprivileged ones, in the society. Today sports and physical activity as a strategy for the empowerment of girls and women has been gaining recognition worldwide. Women could be empowered through education, sports and physical activities and by giving them equal opportunities in different walks of life. Research on sport, gender, and development indicates that sport can benefit girls and women by: Enhancing health and well-being, fostering self-esteem and empowerment, facilitating social inclusion and integration, challenging gender norms and providing opportunities for leadership and achievement.

  • Chapter 4 Outline of Nepal's International Trade
    Chapter 4 Outline of Nepal’s International Trade Chapter 4 Outline of Nepal’s International Trade Chapter 4 Outline of Nepal’s International Trade 4.1 Past Trend Nepal’s external trade is characterized by large trade deficits and overly high dependency on trade with India. As summarized in Table 4.1-1, the value of total imports surpasses that of total exports by more than six times in the recent three years, and the trade deficit has been expanding year after year. While the total trade is on the rise, imports have been growing at much higher rates than exports. Strong import growth – led by consumer goods - seems to be partly attributable to the increase in remittance made by overseas workers, which more than compensates for a sluggish domestic industry.

  • Country Assistance Evaluation of Nepal -Summary
    Third Party Evaluation Report 2012 Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan Country Assistance Evaluation of Nepal -Summary- February 2013 International Development Center of Japan Inc. Preface This report is a summary of the Country Assistance Evaluation of Nepal undertaken by the International Development Center of Japan Inc. entrusted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of Japan in FY2012. Since its commencement in 1954, Japan’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) has contributed to the development of partner countries and finding solutions to international issues which vary with the times. Recently, more effective and efficient implementation of ODA has been required not only in Japan but also in the international community. MOFA has been conducting ODA evaluations mainly at the policy level with two main objectives: to improve management of ODA; and to ensure its accountability. These evaluations are conducted by third parties to enhance their transparency and objectivity. This evaluation was conducted with the objectives of (1) reviewing Japan’s overall assistance policy for Nepal since 2006 in order to extract lessons and recommendations on policy formulation for future assistance to Nepal and its effective and efficient implementation, and (2) ensuring accountability through extensive publication of the evaluation results. Hon. Prof. Ryokichi Hirono, Professor Emeritus, Seikei University, a chief evaluator, and Prof. Hisanobu Shishido, Professor, Tokyo Woman’s Christian University, an advisor for the evaluation, made an enormous contribution to this report. Also, MOFA and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and the ODA Task Force as well as government institutions in Nepal, donors and NGOs also made invaluable contributions.

  • GCF) and Foreign Aid in Nepal
    International Journal of Academic Research ISSN: 2348-7666; Vol.4, Issue-1(8), January, 2017 Impact Factor: 4.535; Email: [email protected] Relationship among GDP, Gross Capital Formation (GCF) and Foreign Aid in Nepal Arjun Kumar Baral Associate Professor of Economics, Tribhuvan University, Nepal Abstract The present paper aims at examining the long run relationship among the macroeconomic variables GDP, GCF and Foreign Aid in Nepalese economy. Nepal has been receiving foreign aid from both bilateral and multilateral sources since last few decades. India has been participating actively in Nepal’s overall economic development including the development of physical and social infrastructure since 1951. The paper focuses on both descriptive and time series econometric analysis for the period 1975- 2014. The econometric method includes testing for stationarity (unit root test), Johansen’s cointegration test, FMOLS and residual diagnostic test for FMOLS. Though foreign aid is playing a vital role for overall economic development of Nepal, the relationship between foreign aid and GDP could not be established due to stationarity problem. The Johansen’s Cointegration test implies that there exists a long run equilibrium relationship between GDP and GCF. Finally, the FMOLS implies that a ten percent increase in GCF causes Nepalese GDP to increase by 6.3 percent where foreign aid is taken as an additional deterministic regressor. Keywords: Foreign Aid, GDP, GCF, FMOLS, Cointegration, Nepal 1. Introduction: econometric analysis for concerned variables. Finally, section 6 concludes the Nepal, a least developed country in overall findings of the present work. south Asia, has been receiving foreign aid 2.
